Anyone experiencing hair loss?



Recommended Posts

I was banded in June of this year, and lately my hair seems to be falling out a lot more than the normal, every day Hair loss. I had a handful of hair today after my shower, and it's never that much. Am I deficient somewhere? Should I bring it up to my surgeon? Are there other Vitamins I should be taking?

I have lots of hair, and the thought of it falling out is scary!!!

When I lost weight a few years back, I had the same thing happen. I saw my Dr. and he informed me it was due mal-nourishment, mainly the lack of Protein. I would check with your Dr but you may need to step up your protein. By the way are you taking Vitamins?

I was banded last September. My hair starting falling out in February. It stopped in May and is regrowing. I have lots of new growth...and it sticks straight up :) It will get better. Find ways to boost your Protein and talk to your doc. Good luck!

I was banded in March and started losing hair in May and June. I started taking Biotin and I use the Shampoo Nioxin. My hair is coming back and I also cut it shorter. So do not stress some say it is Protein intake, but I have always kept mine Protein high and I still lost hair.

You should yes up your Protein intake but my dr also told me to take Biotin and lots of it. I was worried about the Hair loss too. Getting married in a few months and I need all the hair I can get.

You might look into Biotin. They sell it at Walmart and grocery stores.

I was banded in December and started noticing Hair loss in late February. It lasted through May and then it stopped just as suddenly as it started. I can now see lots of regrowth. I didn't really do anything different other than taking Biotin but I'm not really sure how much that helped. Just try not to panic. It will get better.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
